sex education at its finest
HHHHAHAHAAH WHAT
"so do tampons make girls feel like they’re having sex all the time?"
"It’s every month?"
"I thought it just lasted a couple years"
"It can go for 5 days in a row?!?!"
"Why don’t guys uteruses shed?"
*upon seeing a pad* “Why did someone flatten this tampon?”
"Why are tampons so little and pads are like mini diapers!"
"You mean you can’t buy one pack and be good for six months?"
"Why are they 7.69 for 10!!"
"Can’t you like fake being pregnant and stop it?"
crying laughing omigod
CAN’T YOU JUST FAKE BEING PREGNANG AND STOP IT
"tampons? i thought they were called tape-ons"
Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, was asked by NASA engineers if 100 tampons would be enough for her 7 day space flight
These engineers could calculate how much food, water, and oxygen would be needed to keep the astronauts alive but they had no clue how the female menstruation works
I want to cry and laugh.
“Why don’t guys uteruses shed?”
oh now i’m sad
vagina’s are able to stretch wide enough to give birth to a fucking baby and then return to it’s original size but of course being penetrated by that grass blade you call a penis is what’s going to make it “loose”
Uhh. The baby doesnt come out of where the penis goes in…
oh wow
Sex Education in American Public Schools
The third map is really freaking me out. “Don’t have to be medically accurate.” WHAT.
Jersey jersey jersey!
"The birth rate among teenagers reached another historic low in 2012, government researchers announced Friday, and there is evidence that a switch to more effective means of birth control is a factor.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the birth rate among young women ages 15 to 19 fell 6 percent last year, to 29.4 births per thousand, the lowest rate in the 73 years the government has been collecting the data. The decline was across all racial and ethnic groups.”
So let’s stop banging that drum, okay? That means out of every 1000 births, less than 3% are born to teen mothers. And this includes 18 and 19 year olds, so it’s even less if you factor out legal adults.
BUT OMG TEEN MOM IS RUINING EVERYTHING THIS IS THE WORST GENERATION EVER ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS GET PREGNANT AND GET FAMOUS FOR IT THINGS USED TO BE SO MUCH BETTER

"There is evidence that a switch to more effective means of birth control is a factor.”
I bet if you removed the south and other major abstinence only states that already small number would drop off a cliff.
Though I also think if you looked just at those states the number would be much more alarming. Especially among women in lower income levels.
The 2012 per state breakdowns aren’t available yet, but in 2010, Mississippi had the highest with 55/1000 births and New Hampshire had the lowest with a mere 16/1000 (again, this includes 18 and 19 year olds, and I’m not sure about economic breakdowns). So yes, higher in traditionally abstinence-only education states, but not a hugely bigger number and the article notes that Mississippi had a 21% drop. Not that we shouldn’t get rid of abstinence-only education, because WE 100% SHOULD IT’S SO STUPID, but I’d guess the internet has a big hand in keeping those numbers low.
My original point, which I’m sure is obvious, is that claiming teen moms are the end of humanity is the worst kind of misogynistic hyperbole.
No surprise: Teen pregnancy rates are highest in states that teach only abstinence or don’t offer sex education at all.
